Delta Updates Service & Support Animal Policy

Effective December 18th, Delta is updating its service and support animal policy. The enhancements introduce a ban on service and support animals under four months of age regardless of flight length as well as a ban on emotional support animals on flights longer than eight hours. The specific rules are as follows:

-Effective December 18, 2018: Service and support animals under four months of age are not allowed on any flight due to rabies vaccination requirements. Additionally, emotional support animals are no longer allowed to be booked on flights longer than eight hours. If you purchased your ticket prior to December 18th and have requested to travel with an emotional support animal, it will be ok to travel as originally ticketed.

-Effective February 1, 2019: For customers originating travel on or after February 1, 2019, Emotional support animals will not be accepted on flights longer than eight hours after regardless of booking date.
